Chapter 18

"You cheatin!" Riley yelled as he threw the remote control at the screen.

"Wateva yo ass just suck at dis game." Cindy said snickering. "Come on pay up." Cindy said.

Riley anger washed away as he remembered the bet. "Iight." He said leaning over and planting a kiss on her lips. "One mah game." Riley said picking up his controller.

"Iight fine." Cindy said pressing start.

Jazmine rolled her eyes and looked over at Huey. As usual he was on the couch reading. Jazmine went over and sat in his lap just to get some attention.

"Jazmine you're heavy." Huey complained shifting in his seat.

"You trying to call me fat?" Jazmine asked in a warning tone and a little defensively.

Huey rolled his eyes and continued to read his book. Sophie walked in and sat on the couch quietly.

"Oh hey Soph." Jazmine said excitedly. Sophie mumbled something but kept her eyes on the ground. "So whatcha been up to?" Jazmine asked. Sophie mumbled something else. "Damn it stop mumbling!" Jazmine snapped.

Sophie looked over at Jazmine and just stared at her. Then she rolled her eyes and mumbled something else before looking back at the ground. The truth was Sophie wanted to be nice but how could she help if she felt a little…..well….jealous. She sighed Jazmine was her best friend this wasn't how it was suppose to be, why did she kiss Huey? Then Natasha walked in smiling from ear to ear.

"Bitch whatchu sittin dere smiling fo?" Riley asked still focusing on the game.

Natasha shook away his comment and turned to the others. "Guys I want you to meet someone." Natasha said bouncing on her toes excitedly.

Cindy paused the game and looked at Natasha. "Ah why you pause the game?" Riley asked angrily. "Shut up Reezy, iight Tasha who you want us ta meet?" Cindy asked.

"First you have to promise to be nice." Natasha said crossing her arms and looking at Riley.

"Whatchu starin at me fa?" He asked.

"You're the dumbass who always manages to fuck things up." Natasha said.

Riley rolled his eyes. "Young Reezy do want he wanna do bitch if I wanna be nice I be nice but you just put me in a bad mood." Riley said crossing his arms.

Natasha rolled her eyes and looked pleadingly at Cindy. Cindy rolled her eyes and turned to Riley. "Be nice Reezy or the only person witchu in yo bed goin be yo teddy bear." Cindy said in a warning tone.

"I ain't got a teddy bear!" Riley yelled defensively.

Natasha rolled her eyes but turned to hall and pulled out Daniel. "Everyone meet Daniel he's my boyfriend." Natasha said gesturing to him.

Everyone (except Sophie) stopped and looked at him. Even Huey was slightly surprised. The only person who was smiling was Jazmine. Sophie just sat there as if she didn't even care.

"He white?" Cindy said but it came out as a question.

"CINDY!" Natasha yelled.

Daniel stared at her surprised. Then he leaned down to Natasha and whispered (sorta loudly). "Am I the only one who notice that she's white too?" he asked.

Cindy rolled her eyes. For a minute everyone was quiet as Natasha sat there nervously while Daniel seemed cooler about it as he leaned on the side of the wall.

"Alright kids I'm leaving don't mess up mah house or its goin be yo ass Riley. Food in the fridge. I'M FREE, I'M FREEE, I'M FREE, I'M FREEEEE!" Granddad sanged as he slammed the door.

"What? Why it gotta be mah ass what if Huey do somethin?" Riley asked but he didn't get a response.

Everyone stared at the door then turned back to Daniel awkwardly.

"You know I'm half white too." Jazmine said trying to find something to say. Everyone groaned while Daniel stared at her. "Well my daddy is black but my mommy is white." Jazmine explained.

"Aye bitch, shut up!" Riley said throwing his shoe at her.

Jazmine dodged the shoe then glared at Riley. "Hey!" She said.

Riley snickered then turned back to his game. "Ok," Natasha said awkwardly. "Well the girl with the poofy hair is Jazmine, Um the guy sitting behind here that looks really mean is Huey her boyfriend, The white girl with the long braid is Cindy but I personally call her C-Murph, and the dumbass nigga who threw the shoe is Riley but he likes to be called Young Reezy, Reezy or Riley Escobar, Finally this girl is my sister Sophie." Natasha said pointing at everyone.

"Cool, nice to meet you guys." Daniel said.

Cindy was still staring at him suspiciously. "Where have I seen you before?" she asked.

Daniel shrugged his shoulders and looked at her. "Probably at your parent's country club." He said.

Cindy eyes widened in surprise as she recognized the blond boy. "Oh shit." She mumbled.

"You guys know each other?" Natasha asked turning to Daniel.

Cindy tried to signal him to say no but he ignored her. "Everyone knows Cynthia Mcphearson." He said shrugging his shoulders. Cindy smacked her head as he said her name. Natasha turned to her and smiled.

"Your real name is Cynthia?" she asked giggling.

"Shut up!" Cindy snapped.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa how come I ain't know what yo real name was?" Riley asked.

"Because I hate da name and I changed it ta Cindy end of story." Cindy said.

"But..." Riley began.

"END OF STORY!" Cindy snapped again.

Riley rolled his eyes but dropped the subject for now. "Ok enough with Cindy funny name so what do you guys think?" Natasha said gesturing at Daniel again.

"What are your out looks on the government?" Huey asked speaking up for the first time.

"Nothing really I don't really 'dwell' on that type of stuff." Daniel said.

Huey looked at him for a while before shrugging his shoulders and turning back to read his book. "That's about as good as it's gonna get." Natasha explained to Daniel. He nodded his head.

"Well I'm glad Natasha found a boyfriend. You seem nice." Jazmine said smiling at him. Daniel smiled back.

"I don't care just don't bring shit up bout mah parents and shit." Cindy said.

"As you wish Cynthia." Daniel said in a teasing way.

"Shut up!" Cindy yelled at him.

Daniel laughed then looked at Riley. "I don't know first you gotta pass mah nigga test." Riley said.

"Riley no one wants to take your dumb test." Huey said looking up.

"Huey stop bein gay. Anyways first question what was da name of ganstalicious song before everyone thought he was gay?" Riley asked.

"He is gay." Everyone said at the same time.

"Shut up, he ain't gay!" Riley said angrily.

Huey put down his newspaper. "Come on Riley you still think he's not gay? The songs, the dance, come on do the homie?" Huey asked.

"The homie dance ain't gay I do da homie!" Riley yelled defensively.

"That's not gay? You who think everything in the world is gay?" Huey asked crossing his arms.

"Shut up Huey you just mad you gay! You said tried ta make me think I was gay once dats how I know you lyin!"Riley yelled.

Jazmine turned to Huey surprised. "I wanted my own room!" he yelled defensively.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa did it work?" Cindy asked.

"Ask your boyfriend he was the one pouring out tears." Huey said.

Cindy turned to Riley and busted out laughing from his expression. "Shut up punk! Anyway answer da damn question nigga." Riley said turning to Daniel.

"Homies over hoes." Daniel said.

"Iight, iight question 2 what is the name of the pimp that live around here?" Riley asked.

"The one in the purple suit thats always at my bar?" Daniel asked.

"You work at a bar?" Jazmine asked her eyes widening.

Daniel nodded his head. "In fact that's where I met Natasha. She put something in my drink then dragged my unconscious body to her house." Daniel said trying to keep a straight face.

Everyone stared at him surprised. Then they looked at Natasha uneasily. Suddenly Daniel busted out laughing.

"I can't believe you guys fell for that." He said laughing harder.

"Don't do that!" Jazmine said letting out a sigh of relief.

"Yea dat one." Riley said trying to turn his attention back to his test.

"Oh A Pimp Named Slickback." Daniel said.

"AAANNN! Wrong!" Riley said.

"No its not." Daniel said.

"Yes his name is Slickback nigga." Riley said snickering.

"Dumbass ya gotta say da whole thang." Cindy told Riley with a "duh" look.

"Oh my gosh all of you shut the hell up! Riley no one gives a fuck about your dumbass test and Natasha what makes you think your boyfriend is so special? Because he's not so shut up ok? Just everyone shut up!" Sophie yelled suddenly snapping. Just didn't mean to go off but the anger was building up inside of her.

Huey stared at her suspiciously somethig was definetly going on. "Sophie I need to talk to you in the kitchen." Huey said standing up and making Jazmine fall.

Sophie suddenly felt sick to her stomach but she got up and followed Huey into the kitchen.

"Alright what's going on?" Huey asked once they were in the kitchen.

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked though she knew.

"Don't play dumb Sophie I know something's wrong so what is it?" Huey asked. Sophie glanced at him before looking back down, she couldn't say it. Huey stared at her irritated. "Did Riley say something? You got in a fight with Natasha?" Huey asked. Sophie continued to look down but shook her head no. Huey took a deep breath. "Was it the kiss?" he asked finally.

Sophie eyes shot up to Huey's. She took in a deep breath. "Its how it ended." She said finally.

Huey gave her a confused look. "You pushed me away." he pointed out.

"Not that. I mean like how yesterday we kissed and today..." her voice trailed off as she looked back down to the floor.

"And today I'm with Jazmine." he finished for her. She nodded her head. There was a awkward silence between them. "You jealous?" Huey asked.

Sophie started to blush like crazy. She hung her head down so her black hair would fall on her face and hide her pink face. She slowly nodded. When she didn't hear anything she looked up at him who looked like he was still in shock. "It's not that big of a deal!" Sophie snapped angrily while putting her hands on her hips.

"It is, because your her best friend and I..." his voice trailed off.

"And your with her and love her." Sophie finished for him. He slowly nodded. Sophie felt a ping of sadness. "So what are we going to do?" she asked.

"I don't know." Huey said sighing and sitting in a seat. He grabbed the skin in between his eyes and thought. "Sophie I do have some feeling for you i guess but I-I'm in love with jazmine." Huey said.

Sophie offered a small smile as she sat next to him. "I know and I have feeling for you too but its just not meant to be." sophie said sorta sadly.

"Yea I guess not." Huey said.

They both looked up at the same time as they saw Jazmine walk in nervously. "I-I-I was listening to you two and I just want to say that I'm breaking up with you Huey." she said a tear falling from her eye.

"WHAT?!" Sophie and Huey exclaimed at the same time.

"Wait just listen, for the next two minuets me and Huey are over. I want you and Sophie to get what you want to say out your system without feeling gulity about it." Jazmine said. Huey raised one eyebrow up at Jazmine. "This needs to happen Huey." Jazmine said. " I'll be in the other room." she said turning around and walking out.

"That was..."Sophie sat there trying to find the right word. "Sweet." she finally settled on.

Huey nodded and stood up. "Is there anything you want to say?" he asked.

Sophie bite her lip nervously she did have something to say. "Well more like a question for you." she said.

"Ok what is it?" Huey asked again.

Sophie let in a deep breath. "Do think that maybe if you were never with jazmine (and i wasn't still inlove with my dead ex Ceaser)." she added silently. "There would be something going on between us?" she asked.

Huey stared at her as he thought what she had said. He so badly wanted to say no, to end this thing between him and Sophie, but he never was one to ignore the obvious. "Yes I think so." he finally said."Anything else?" he asked standing up again.

Sophie avoided his eyes as she bite her lip again. "No." she said softly.

Huey looked at her before turning around. Suddenly Sophie stood up. "Wait, Huey!" Sophie called. Huey stopped and turned around.

"Yes?" he asked.

"I-I love you." Sophie stammered nervously.

Huey felt as his cheeks went red. He stared at her amazed as she started to fidget nervously with her fingers. He knew he was making her nervous but his brain was dead. "I love you too." he said finally. Sophie smiled a big smile which Huey returned. Sophie stared at him in disbelief, she had neveer seen him give a full smile but now she did and he looked beautiful. Huey stepped forward and gave her a hug. They held each other for a while before breaking apart.

"Friends?" Sophie asked.

"Of course." Huey said.

They stared into each others eyes before grabbing each other into another hug. "Well come on you gotta go ask your girlfriend back out." Sophie said sarcastically. "That is before she finds someone better." she teased.

Huey rolled his eyes as he walked back into the room but he was secretly glad that nothing had changed between him and Sophie even after everything that went down. "Hey Jazmine." Huey said walking over to her ignoring the yells coming from Riley, Cindy, and Natasha.

"Hey," she said softly. "I severything cool?" she asked her eyes darting to Sophie.

"Jazmine come here." Sophie said angrily.

Jazmine hesitated as she looked at Huey, he nodded his head. Jazmine got up and walked slowly over to Sophie. "Listen Soph I just want to know if we're cool or if your still mad. I'm really sorry." Jazmine said nervously.

"Mad?! Of course I'm mad! My best friend just broke up with her BOYFRIEND for me so I could get how I feel out in the open. What kind of CRAP is that?! And to to top it off she APOLOGIZES! I swear Jazmine Duboius you are the WORST friend ever!" Sophie yelled trying to keep a straight face.

"I'm sorry! I didnt mean to break up with Huey! I'm soooo stup- Wait what?" Jazmine stopped apologizing as the words hit her.

Sophie couldn't control the giggle that escaped her lips. "Jazmine of course we're still best friends! What you did was the sweetest thing ever and I don't know how to repay you. I really needed to get that out of system. Thanks." Sophie said wrapping her arms around Jazmine.

"You know I'm really starting to think your not really antisocial Sooph." Jazmine teased poking her in her ribs once they broke the hug.

"No I'm still antisocial but sometimes the barrier cracks down a little." Sophie said.

"Awwww I love you Sophie no homo!" Jazmine said giving her a bear hug.

"Ok and barrier back." Sophie said pushing her away and giving her a small smile.

"He passed the test Riley stop calling him gay!" Natasha yelled.

"He is gay! How come you gotta stand up fa him and he can't stand up fa hisself?" Riley yelled back.

"Because he dosen't need to prove anything to you you fugly bastard!" Natasha yelled.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa hold da fuck up dere Tasha dnt call Reezy a bastard ya bitch!" Cindy yelled jumping into the conversation.

"Don't call my girlfriend a bitch Cynthia!" Danile yelled finally jumping into the conversation.

"Dats not mah fuckin name!" Cindy yelled back annoyed.

Sophie and Huey rolled their eyes annoyed but Jazmine shrugged it off. No matter what happened before she had her boyfriend and one of her bestfriends back and that's all that mattered.

Author's Note: Ok for all those who are a little confused about the whole "I love you" thing let me explain. When they said I love you it was a "if" thing. Like if I wasnt desperately in love with so and so or if I would have never meet so and so. Its also a I love you as a friend thing. Anyway heads up next chapter is the last chapter and it will leave you with sooo many questions. Idk if I will write a sequel I mean only if you want me too *hint hint* yep only if you want me too. Anywas read it its interesting! R&R!
